There are dads who will research drill bits for forty-five minutes but in the detergent aisle calmly grab “Frontier Frost Experience” because it sounds cool.
Dads! Is there anything you do that at some point stopped being a hobby and just became part of who you are?
You get a little obsessive about it. You take it personally. It’s your thing…
Your wife only wants one thing for Mother’s Day and it’s uninterrupted sleep, clean house, spa day, thoughtful card, new jewelry, breakfast, alone time, family photos, romantic dinner, weekend getaway, foot massage, fresh flowers, plan‑free day, coffee delivery, and a picnic.
There’s only one thing your husband wants to do in the kitchen and it’s put the bread in the oven, a hot beef injection, a bit of crumpet, to play hide the sausage, banana in the fruit salad, batter dip the corn dog, churn butter, or fill the crème donut. One of those.
Your wife only wants one thing for Mother’s Day and it’s love, attention, quiet time, relaxation, appreciation, respect, support, affection, romance, chocolate, wine, flowers, jewelry… and she wants them tomorrow too.
